Taiwan Semi pledged $65 billion in US investment last April. Two questions:

1. Is this a fresh $100 billion or an additional $35 billion atop the original pledge?

2. How much of a CHIPS Act grant will Taiwan Semi receive?

Watching the press conference now.

If they are building the plant in AZ, that would means it will produce a combination of ranch and salsa chips.

This is excellent for both the US and Taiwan.

Bringing manufacturing back to USA is a good thing.

Bringing THIS kind of manufacturing is a GREAT thing.

I would also like to see us bring back the ability to make power transformers. I believe all are currently made in China. An EMP would wipe them out with no ability to replace them in sight. No power? Bad thing.

They promised a lot in Trump's first term and delivered almost nothing.

So we'll see.

It makes no sense for the bulk of the chips that we use to be made just off the coast of China.

IF, I have my facts right...

Biden offered up $6.6 billion U S dollars in grants to entice TSMC to build in AZ.

Three chip plants, costing $65 billion U S dollars, are currently underway north of Phoenix, near Interstate 17 and Loop 303.

Another three chip plants will be built in AZ under the Trump administration, with TSMC pledging to spend an additional 100 billion U S dollars.

I believe that I heard the TSMC CEO, mention in the just finished White House announcement that there will be two additional plants built to package the chips, for a total of 8 plants constructed at the AZ complex.

The plans are for all of the future chip plants across America to strategically construct their power-generating units on-site.

Last Energy has perfected microreactors that may be used as one type of solution to energy production on-site.

It is predicted that the explosion in AI will double the power needed by the U.S.
